Mimicking the Annulus Fibrosus Using Electrospun Polyester Blended Scaffolds

Mimicking the Annulus Fibrosus Using Electrospun Polyester Blended Scaffolds

Treatments to alleviate chronic lower back pain, caused by intervertebral disc herniation as a consequence of degenerate annulus fibrosus (AF) tissue, fail to provide long-term relief and do not restore tissue structure or function. This study aims to mimic the architecture and mechanical environmen...
